M. Hardinge.

The Pope nowe runneth not vp and downe into euery countrie, he goeth not openly and priuatly, from house to house, and to euery alehouse, as ye would him to doo, like one of your ministers: Neither, I trowe, ye maisters, that be Superintendentes your selues, thinke it conuenient, that ye goe from house to house, to preache your Gospel at these dates. And would ye the Pope to abase him selfe to that yee thinke becommeth not your selues? He hath (as meete it is) other fitte menne to helpe to beare his burthea with him. And whereas one body suffiseth not for so great and so many affaires: for Coūcel, he

hath many heads: for ouersight, many eies: for eare, many hartes: for preachinge, many tounges: for woorke, many handes: for knowledge, many eares: for expedition of matters, many feete: for the great weight of his charge, many shoulders: briefly, for al necessary and behoofeful cases, conuenient helpes. The like helpes would S. Peter vse, were he nowe liuinge.
